He's still trying to spit the dummy out 😛

Sam Ermolenko makes Richie Hawkins look like a good TM .. 

You said it, it’s no longer relevant..it missed the boat,and is still wide of the mark on most levels, on which this community has mentioned. Unless the whole sport is restructured I see no tangible future, that would obviously include the other federations too, I don’t see how that comes to fruition given the varying levels of infrastructure across the board, let alone anything else, I’m sure it would require a tonne of money, but who is going to provide that and get/expect a ROI in real time.

Absolutely correct, can think of a number of 'senior' riders who were great with the youngsters in recent years, Jon Armstrong especially comes to mind with the 2 you mentioned. 

It’s not really hate I don’t think . I think everybody’s opinions come from astonishment, frustration and anger but probably most of all , sadness, at the state our once great and attractive sport has been allowed to decay to this point. Any hate is towards the clowns responsible I reckon. I like your enthusiasm though . Bring on the March ? April? May ? start of the season.
